source is available, it is automatically selected.

Set the items in the MENU mode for recording/playback shown below if required.

Default file name setting

The "Default file name" menu item selects the default name format of an audio file which is
created automatically when recording starts.
The "Default file name" is initially set to "SCENE NAME + Take number". So the name of the
first file recorded is "SCENE_001.wav." (You can set the desired scene name instead of the
default "SCENE").
You can select the default name format from "DATE" and "Reel Number + File Number" in
addition to the default "SCENE NAME + Take number".
You can select the default file name via the "Default file name" item in the "SYS SETUP" menu
of the MENU mode (see page 138).

Maximum file size setting

The maximum recording size per file can be selected. The default size is 2GB.
You can change it to 4GB according to the capacity of your personal computer which receives
an audio file created by the PD204.
You can select the maximum file size via the "Max file length" item in the "SYS SETUP" menu
of the MENU mode (see page 152).

Partition link setting

This setting is valid only when you make recording to a hard disk partition.
If partition link is enabled, when there is no recording space left in the current partition
during recording, the unit automatically creates a new file in the next partition and contin-
ues recording to it. By default, partition link is disabled.
You can select partition link setting via the "Auto part. link" item in the "SYS SETUP" menu of
the MENU mode (see page 153).
